Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza threw his hat in the title contender ring in
the
UFC Fight Night 28 co-main event on Wednesday, as he stopped
Yushin
Okami with an overhand right and follow-up punches at
Jornalista Felipe Drumond Stadium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The
33-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt has finished his last
five opponents, four of them in the first round, all while
showcasing his rapidly improving standup.

Souza’s latest triumph likely puts him on a short list of potential
suitors for the winner of the Dec. 28 rematch between middleweight
champion Chris
Weidman and former titleholder Anderson
Silva. Weidman dethroned “The Spider” at UFC 162, ending his
historic reign atop the 185-pound division.
